Flamengo finalize details of three friendlies for preseason camp in Portugal during World Cup break

The World Cup has barely started, but the red-and-black fans already miss seeing Flamengo in action. That is because Fla’s last match of the season was on May 30, when the Most Beloved beat Coritiba 3-0 in the Brasileirão. Now, the Red-and-Black have confirmed their friendlies during the World Cup break.

In short, Flamengo have set the opponents for the three friendlies they will play during their training camp in Portugal. First, the Most Beloved will face River Plate (ARG) on July 3 at 3:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

After that, the Red-and-Black will take on Lausanne-Sport (SUI) on July 8 at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time). Finally, Flamengo will face Benfica (POR) on the 11th from 3:30 p.m. (Brasília time), wrapping up the training camp in Portugal.

As previously reported by Coluna do Fla, all three Flamengo friendlies will be played at Estádio Algarve, located between the municipalities of Faro and Loulé. In addition, the Blueticket platform will be responsible for ticket sales for the matches.

When do Flamengo return?

It is worth noting that, also according to reporting from Coluna do Fla, the Flamengo squad will report back this Friday (19) at Ninho do Urubu. Initially, at the training center, the players available to Leonardo Jardim will undergo medical tests and evaluations.

What are the next steps?

After that, the Flamengo delegation will travel to Portugal on June 28. Once on Portuguese soil, the first stage of red-and-black training will take place in the city of Lagos between June 29 and July 5. Later, the delegation will move on to Estoi, where it will stay until July 12.

What will Fla’s training period be like?

It is important to remember that Flamengo will travel to Portugal without the nine players called up for the 2026 World Cup. As a result, Leonardo Jardim will round out the squad with youth academy players.

Which Flamengo players are at the World Cup?

In short, Flamengo had a total of nine players called up for the World Cup. While Carlo Ancelotti selected Danilo, Lucas Paquetá, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro, Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa called up Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Varela. Finally, Ecuador have Plata and Colombia have Jorge Carrascal.
